Researchers Use Normothermic Perfusion to Increase Success of Kidney Transplants


Scientists from Kidney Research UK have discovered a way to increase the success of kidney transplants from deceased donors by reviving the kidneys prior to transplantation using normothermic perfusion. Blood flow is reintroduced to the kidney via a special machine, effectively reversing the damage caused by storing the kidney on ice. The scientists believe kidneys … Continue reading Researchers Use Normothermic Perfusion to Increase Success of Kidney Transplants
